That's AWESOME, Jeff!

FWIW, I put in a bid on an item 3 weeks ago, and won it this morning at $400 less than my Honest Auto Bid! Rob and team run an ethical auction, IMHO.

I agree, in my opinion, REA is the best, and I would consign to them in a minute.I just don't like the way the auction ends.

Just hire a meth addict to bid for you. They don't sleep.

I heard one of the board members did this but is now reconsidering the strategy after ending the auction with only a mad stack of playboys.

An LSD addict would bid all your money on 1972 Topps.

One of the few benefits of being an nite owl... stayed abreast of the auction via smartphone last night while sipping from a glass at a bar at nearly closing time... even the bartender and a few fellow barflys were rivited watching to see if I would get anything or not...

I'm a night owl, have been since I was a little kid. My mom called me a vampire when I was little, because she couldn't get me to go to bed.

I believe night versus morning people is a genetic thing.
